Construction Project Manager

Position Overview We are hiring an action-driven, software savvy, field-based Solar Project Construction Manager to hit the ground running and serve as our on-the-ground construction anchor focused in Massachusetts. This role is very much independent and requires an experienced PM to handle both daily interaction at job sites and ensure roadblocks are recognized and resolved proactively. It is a critical position for our 2027 execution capacity. You will work directly with our field subcontractors, report to our internal construction team, and coordinate regularly with scheduling. Where You Fit Reports to: Sena (Director of Construction Operations, remote) Works closely with: Scott Robbins (Field Electrician/O&M Lead), field electrical and solar subcontractors. Coordinates with: Benjie Borra (GC/Engineering/Design), Richelle (Interconnection/Operations), John Weaver (GM) Core Responsibilities Field Execution Serve as CSG's daily on-site presence across 3-6 concurrent commercial solar projects, primarily in Massachusetts & Rhode Island, with occasional projects in New Hampshire and Connecticut. Guide and oversee, but not directly manage, licensed subcontractor crews across multiple trades to schedule, budget, and quality standards Conduct daily site walks, track progress with reports (using Procore software) and against project schedules, and flag issues early Receive and coordinate material deliveries to job sites, including rental equipment such as storage containers and lifts Take pictures of construction activities on a daily basis, pick up needed items, meet clients, and other “small’ tasks needed to keep the construction team moving Drive punch list completion and coordinate commissioning activities Attend inspections, AHJ meetings, and utility walk-throughs as the CSG representative Project Coordination & Communication Maintain job-level communication with internal construction team through daily updates on active/critical phases and weekly updates during standard progress periods — frequency driven by project needs Track RFIs, submittals, and change orders through Procore software Coordinate material deliveries and equipment sequencing with the procurement team Flag scope changes or site conditions that affect cost or schedule immediately — proactive transparency is the standard, not the exception Schedule & Customer Transparency Treat schedule transparency as a core responsibility: as soon as a delay is possible, the team is informed — not after it is confirmed Some projects include recurring customer calls — when they do, attendance is mandatory unless there is a conflict. You are the face of CSG on the job site and that extends to the call. Maintain an accurate, up-to-date picture of project progress and communicate it clearly to both the PM Lead and the customer Manage customer expectations on schedule, access, and site conditions with professionalism and honesty Coordinate with utility and inspection representatives on timing as required Safety Own job-site safety documentation, pre-task planning, and incident reporting Enforce safety standards consistently across all subcontractor crews on site Maintain OSHA compliance records for all active projects Work with our in-house field electrician to build a consistent site safety culture across all CSG jobs Qualifications Required Local to Massachusetts — this role requires consistent on-site presence across eastern MA, and RI, with occasional projects in NH and CT. Strong background in active construction management — you must understand how a construction site actually runs: sequencing, crew dynamics, subcontractor accountability, and what it takes to keep a job moving. Solar experience is strongly preferred; parallel fields such as electrical, civil, or commercial construction are also considered. Solid working knowledge of electrical work — not necessarily a licensed electrician, but you need to understand the scope, sequencing, and language of electrical installation well above the average person. You will be coordinating and holding electrical subcontractors accountable on a daily basis. Comfortable working alongside and earning the respect of tradespeople and field crews — you can walk a job site, speak plainly, and hold your own with experienced construction professionals Digitally competent: Procore experience or equivalent required. Must be proficient with Google Drive & Worksuite. Document and photo management are part of your daily workflow. We will onboard you to our specific systems and processes; the expectation is that you arrive already comfortable with these tools in a construction context. Strong communicator in both directions — equally updating the internal, remote team and having direct conversations on a job site Valid driver's license OSHA 30 certification (or willingness to obtain within first 90 days) We Are Actively Seeking Candidates With These Qualifications Licensed Electrician (Journeyman or Master) — a Master Electrician license is especially valuable given our GC + electrical capability stack and the nature of the work we self-perform. If you hold this license, tell us upfront. Solar Estimating experience — candidates who can read plans, build takeoffs, and understand cost modeling bring construction-level depth that accelerates your value from day one and opens doors within the company as we scale NABCEP certification or demonstrated solar-specific construction knowledge Experience on federal, military, or municipal projects — compliance-heavy, inspection-driven environments are part of our portfolio (Harvard, Hanscom AFB) Demonstrated ability to lead a self-performed project scope — we are building toward selective self-performance and the right candidate will be part of that #J-18808-Ljbffr National Association of Women in Construction
